Sweet pics. I am sure my camera can do some similar shots, but I am not smart enough to figure it out! PROPS to the operator, not the camera!!

Isn't it amazing the amount of orange peel in that Z06?!!???!!!? Man that thing needs wetsanded followed by a good buffing. Its nice for sure, but could be better!

Nice pictures, you were using an tripod I assume, or you have really steady hands for that much exposure.

I have seen this car in person and i love it, one of my fav 9-5. But what springs are you using. Seems as though the rear is settling a little more then the front.

first off, where/when did you see the car?
i dont think i have ever met you.

and the springs are h&r. yes, the rears sit lower than the front, but its all good!

thanks all for the compliments on the car, they are much appreciated, and this thread will get updated constantly with new pictures. (or until i get decently bored of the new toy...which wont be for a while!!)

but does anyone have any kind of criticism on the photography?

OK I took a hard look at the pics to try and come up with some criticism.

Overall they are very nice. Some are just too busy, like the gas station picture. That one I would maybe try to frame it so the car takes up more space in the pic thanall the other stuff.

The close up pic of the front of the 9-5, there is some sign behind it!?!? What does it say? That could be edited oput with photoshop, or just try it again with nothing behind it.

Then for the dark pics. I really like the lighting around the pics, like the night sky one, that is a cool picture, but the car is almost unrecogniseable. Like if we were'nt saab guys, we might not even know the make. Try some way to light up the car, but still get the lighting effect. Maybe a fill flash? I dunno, thats for you to figure out I guess.


Take all of the above witha grain of salt, im no photographer, but I like to look at pretty pictures!
